Remove upload button of FileUpload.GetHtml Helper - html

How can I remove the upload button helper FileUpload.GetHtml?
#FileUpload.GetHtml(
initialNumberOfFiles:1,
allowMoreFilesToBeAdded:true,
includeFormTag:true,
addText:"Adicionar",
uploadText:"")

Unfortunately not. The only way to remove it using code is to set includeFormTag to false. But then you'd lose all the rest of the post html. :)
However, since the html output is consistent you can just do a simple replace.
#Html.Raw(FileUpload.GetHtml(
initialNumberOfFiles:1,
allowMoreFilesToBeAdded:true,
includeFormTag:true,
addText:"Adicionar",
uploadText:"").ToString().Replace("<input value=\"\" type=\"submit\"/>", ""))
It's rather ugly though.

How to see if Chrome manipulates HTML by itself?

If you forget to close a HTML-Tag, Chrome will validate your code and try to fix problems like this.
I had a major problem because I forgot a closing Form-Tag, and instead of closing it correctly, Chrome deleted a following form, not the inputs, simply the Form-Tags.
When I looked at the Source Code itself, the Form-Tag was there, but not in the Elements-Tab in the console.
So at first, I thought it must have something to do with some JS deleting this DOM-Node and set a DOM-Breakpoint to find the script.
To cut a long story short, it took me hours to find out, that no JS deleted my form, but Chrome itself thought: There is a missing so I delete some other to fix that...
Is there any possibilty to see if Chrome automatically changes your DOM?
Thank You!
The browser Engine does indeed. They use string replace methods, although it happens internally.
<div>
</div>> // mistake
<div> //missing end tag
<div></div>
---------------------------------------------------
Methods
file=file.stringreplace('>>', '>')
an uneven count will add the missing div just after the next beginning div and conditionally if the missing is not found by the end of the file:
file=file.stringreplace('
<div>', '</div>
<div>')
The Parsing Engine after the missing and broken tags are repaired then parses the file and can then with a positive count set the screens GUI widgets by opening and closing tags as GUI Frames. It does this by adding tokens delimiters to the actual div tags making them easily distinguished from each other.
<div1s>
</div1e>
<div1s>//section columns
<div2s></div2e>
<div2s></div2e>
<div2s></div2e>
</div1e>
<div1s>Footer</div1e>
-----------------------------------------------------
The GUI Frame Tokens
for each "<dive1>"{
FrameCreate(CSS--ATTRIBUTES FROM ASSOCIATIVE ARRAYS--)
//the GUI Frame Widgets VERTICAL SECTIONS
}
//Next it finds the nested divs2 and embeds these into the thir parents above but with embedded Text Widgets also.
FrameTextBoxCreate(--CSS MATED ATTRIBUTES RULES--)
div3 etc------and so on.
In fact it is in the WebView GUI Widget Sets in its customized Mosaic Canvas Widget Sets in Chrome would be where they are repaired.

Dynamically re-bind html.ValidationMessageFor html helper?

Some background information, I am using ASP.NET with the MVC framework and html helpers.
I currently have a dynamic table where each row has a series of input boxes. Each of these input boxes has a validation message. This works completely fine for the first row. However, when other rows are dynamically added (with the IDs' being changed along with other attributes to match the row number) the validation message no longer works.
Both the row and validation message span are being replicated properly.
In JQuery, this is usually just a problem with the binding, so for each row I would simply re-bind the IDs'. However I am not really to sure how to approach them in ASP.NET.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks
Alright, I have finally figured this out.
In MVC, in order to handle the validation, it import a JQuery file known as jquery.validate.unobtrusive.js.
However, similar to JQuery, this only occurs at the very beginning when the page is loaded. So, when you add a new dynamic element, you need to remove the bindings and the re-bind them again.
Basically, in your function for adding a new element, put the following lines of code AFTER you have added the new element:
$("#form").removeData("validator");
$("#form").removeData("unobtrusiveValidation");
$.validator.unobtrusive.parse("#form");
For example:
function addInfoDynamic()
{
document.getElementById("#myDiv").innerHTML += "New Content";
$("#form").removeData("validator");
$("#form").removeData("unobtrusiveValidation");
$.validator.unobtrusive.parse("#form");
}

HTML Form attribute in Button

I have two forms in my html file. They both submitted by one button. Can I connect both forms with this button? Something like
<button form="firstFormId secondFormId"> Save </button>.
Will it make any sense?
You have multiple solutions to do that, I'd go with javascript, or even better, jQuery, if you're using it.
If you are not using jquery, with javascript you could do something like this:
Place somewhere in the page a "submit" link:
Submit
Assign to each form an unique name, let's say "myform1" and "myform2".
Then include in your page the following:
<script type="text/javascript">
function submitform(){
document.myform1.submit(); // submit form 1
document.myform2.submit(); // submit form 2
}
</script>
Instead of calling an external function, to keep things as simple as possible, after assigning the names to the forms, you could even simply place the following link:
Submit
If you are using jQuery, and I suggest this way, you could simply assign a given class to both forms, let's say "submit-me" and then add to your code:
$('.submit-me').submit()
Of all the above I would definitely suggest the last one, that relies on jQuery. It's easy to maintain, reusable (meaning that it can be applied to any form having the class submit-me, and all the job is done by jQuery.
Note that in all the examples you don't need anymore the "classic" submit button of forms.
Not tested, but I hope it'll do what required! :-)

HTML/CSS form field with suggestion

What is it called or where can I find code for placing a 'suggestion' or grayed out text in a form field box that doesn't get pass as a value. I know i can prepopulate it, but want to use it to only provide guidance. Example, box that says " "
The terminology you're referring to is called a watermark.
There are many existing Javascript solutions written for this already, like this one.
JavaScript will do this. I've used the jQuery framework, for example:
Setting the value:
$('#comment_box').val('Optional comment..');
On click, removing the value:
$('#comment_box').val('');
On submit:
if (comment == 'Optional comment..'){
comment = '';
}
And submit your comment. I've left out the functions here but you can get an idea.
HTML5 has a placeholder attribute supported by many modern browsers.
(But alas not MSIE.)
The above-linked article explains how to test for support and implement a javascript fallback.
use
<input type=text disabled value='...'/>
(disabled wont pass the values, whereas readonly will pass the value)
I think what you are referring to is a watermark
http://www.asp.net/ajax/ajaxcontroltoolkit/Samples/TextBoxWatermark/TextBoxWatermark.aspx
or
there are jquery defaultvalue plugins

storing additional data on a html page

I want to store some additional data on an html page and on demand by the client use this data to show different things using JS. how should i store this data? in Invisible divs, or something else?
is there some standard way?
I'd argue that if you're using JS to display it, you should store it in some sort of JS data structure (depending on what you want to do). If you just want to swap one element for another though, invisible [insert type of element here] can work well too.
I don't think there is a standard way; I would store them in JavaScript source code.
One of:
Hidden input fields (if you want to submit it back to the server); or
Hidden elements on the page (hidden by CSS).
Each has applications.
If you use (1) to, say, identify something about the form submission you should never rely on it on the server (like anything that comes from the client). (2) is most useful for things like "rich" tool tips, dialog boxes and other content that isn't normally visible on the page. Usually the content is either made visible or cloned as appropriate, possibly being modified in the process.
If I need to put some information in the html that will be used by the javascript then I use
<input id="someuniqueid" type="hidden" value="..." />
Invisible divs is generally the way to go. If you know what needs to be shown first, you can improve user experience by only loading that initially, then using an AJAX call to load the remaining elements on the page.
You need to store any sort of data to be structured as HTML in an HTML structure. I would say to properly build out the data or content you intend to display as proper HTML showing on the page. Ensure that everything is complete, semantic, and accessible. Then ensure that the CSS presents the data properly. When you are finished add an inline style of "display:none;" to the top container you wish to have dynamically appear. That inline style can be read by text readers so they will not read it until the display style proper upon the element changes.
Then use JavaScript to change the style of the container when you are ready:
var blockit = function () {
var container = document.getElementById("containerid");
container.style.display = "block";
};
For small amounts of additional data you can use HTML5 "data-*" attribute
<div id="mydiv" data-rowindex="45">
then access theese fields with jQuery data methods
$("#mydiv").data("rowindex")
or select item by attribute value
$('div[data-rowindex="45"]')
attach additional data to element
$( "body" ).data( "bar", { myType: "test", count: 40 } );
